Synology NAS Security
Both hardware failure and malicious attacks from the Internet can affect critical digital assets access. In businesses where 24/7 service is paramount, incorporating Synology NAS Security, DSM offers series of high availability and security measures to safeguard you from unexpected server disruption and data loss.
Synology High Availability (SHA)
In today’s competitive global economy, many enterprises cannot afford to have their mission-critical services offline for even a short period of time. The advanced Synology High Availability (SHA) technology makes sure that they don’t. It harnesses an active and a passive server into one cluster, the latter always mirrored to the former. Should the main server fails, the passive server immediately kicks in and takes over. This will buy IT personnel more time to repair or replace the failed hardware. In the meantime, users can continue to access their files as well as DSM services from the backup server, as if the incident never happened.
- Heartbeat mechanism: The passive server will automatically initiate its systems as soon as regular “heartbeats” between two servers are no longer detected.
- Link aggregation support: With more than one network connections between servers, the reliability of their communication is guaranteed through failover and load-balancing capabilities between links.
Security Measures
No matter where businesses store their sensitive files, it will always be tempting for some to exploit the system’s weaknesses and acquire such data. To address this, Synology has developed a multitude of enhancements to ensure a most secure DSM environment.
Firewall
Customize which IP addresses may access specific services or network ports on your DiskStation.
DoS prevention
Counteract DoS attacks from the Internet, and maintain a smooth flow of legitimate traffic.
IP Block
DSM can automatically block an IP address after it fails to log in for a number of times. Administrators may also set up IP black list or white list manually.
